Summary
Mike Weber will turn pro after this season, which is not a surprise, but does lead to a question: Is running back depth going to be a problem for the Buckeyes in 2019.
Obviously, J.K. Dobbins will return, but behind him, there could be some concerns.
With the early signing period kicking off this Wednesday, we also talk a lot about recruiting on today's show:
* What is the latest with Doug Nester and Paris Johnson?
* Which recruits who are not committed to OSU might sign with the Buckeyes on Wednesday when the early signing period begins?
* What will happen with Zach Harrison?
* Which 2019 recruits that are committed to OSU (in addition to Nester) might not sign with OSU in the end?
Alex Gleitman joins Dave Biddle for the Monday extravaganza to discuss all of that and more.

| 0:39.1 | announcing he's turning pro, no surprise. |
| 0:41.0 | I mean, you know, he's a fourth year junior. I think we all knew he wasn't coming back as a fifth year senior |
| 0:44.9 | JK Dobbins kind of let it flip last week anyway which is kind of funny that he tried to kind of backtrack |
| 0:50.4 | But you know I mean we all knew Mike was turning pro but he made it official |

| 1:02.4 | News. Yeah I mean I can't say I'm been told just your reaction to the Mike Weber news. |
| 1:03.0 | Yeah I mean I can't say I'm surprised I think Weber is a guy who haunted a GoPro |
| 1:08.8 | as early as he could I guess you know it was a couple years back when or I guess at least after last year |
| 1:16.8 | he that was the first year he was eligible to go pro and he obviously had an injury that kind of |
| 1:22.3 | hampered him all of last season he obviously had some injuries this year that affected him a little bit as well, |
| 1:28.0 | but I think he ideally wanted to go pro after last season, which would have been his second full season as a |
| 1:34.6 | starter had he not gotten hurt at the beginning of the year, but he did get hurt. |
| 1:38.2 | J.K. Dobbins kind of took the driver's seat there. Mike still had a decent year for a guy who was pretty banged up |
| 1:44.0 | and then came back this year. |
